Crema's Take

Dulce De Leche Cafecito is a cozy Latin-inspired café that punches way above its weight with inventive espresso drinks like cardamom rose and honey coconut lattes, plus creative matcha options that keep regulars coming back. Beyond the coffee, their kitchen delivers breakfast and light fare that's genuinely cared-for—think green chilaquiles and dulce de leche crepas—making it the kind of place where you'll want to linger for hours, especially on their generous outdoor patio when the intimate interior fills up.

I definitely recommend this place! The food was delicious, and the service was great. We ordered the avocado toast, green chilaquiles with carne, and the dulce de leche crepas — everything was absolutely amazing. I also had the dulce de leche latte, which was excellent, and my husband had the café de olla, which he really enjoyed. There wasn’t a single thing we didn’t like. The place is small, so we did have to wait for a table, but it was definitely worth it. I’ll absolutely be coming back to try more items on the menu!

One of the best oat milk lattes I’ve had. Cute atmosphere and amazing food. The only thing they need is twice the space to serve more people! Not an empty seat!

It was me and my friend's first time here but definitely not our last! We tried the cardamom rose latte, honey coconut latte, and blue matcha—every drink was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind and friendly, which made the experience even better. Cozy vibes, unique flavors done right, and clearly made with care. Can’t wait to come back!

Today I treated myself to breakfast since I needed to kill 1.5hr. I googled "cafe near me" and skimmed the list. I read the menu and it seemed super interesting and yummy! I was so happy I walked in. Warm greetings from staff, cute tables with small vases of fresh flowers and my breakfast chicken skillet with their signature Dulce de Leche latte were amazing! Come support this neighborhood cafe! Omar the owner said his vision was to have delicious fancy food for the neighborhood community which he delivered! Excited for next time :)

Great little spot on western with solid coffee and great food options. The interior is pretty small with space for maybe 10 people at most, but there is a lot of outside patio space available. Staff were friendly and service was quick. The food we got was very solid and pretty well portioned for the price.
